First Responder Injuries

Call a Maryland Personal Injury Attorney for Experienced Help

First responders play a crucial role in Maryland’s emergency services
and safety forces. They are the first to the scene of an accident, natural
disaster, or crime, ready to provide assistance to those in need. By putting
others before themselves, however, first responders often find themselves
in dangerous situations. Some may be seriously injured while carrying
out their duties.

Alpert Schreyer Poe, LLC represents injured first responders, helping them
recover the benefits and compensation they need for medical care, lost
earnings, and other losses. When
firefighters,
police officers,
EMTs, and other first responders suffer harm, we fight for their right to just
compensation. With a history of representing the injured that spans over
30 years and millions in recoveries for our clients, we are qualified
to handle these complex cases.

Our team is committed to helping injured first responders with
workers’ compensation claims and
personal injury lawsuits so they can be properly compensated for the harm they have experienced.

we handle include:

Workers’ Comp vs. Personal Injury for First Responder Injuries

Depending on the nature of your injury and how it occurred, you may be
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits or may be able to file
a personal injury lawsuit. Workers’ comp benefits are provided on
a no-fault basis, but they do not typically cover emotional trauma and
full loss of wages. A personal injury lawsuit, which is filed against
a third party for a first responder injury, can provide a means of recovering
maximum compensation for any and all losses or injuries.

A skilled Maryland first responder injury attorney can work closely with
you to determine how to proceed and whether a workers’ compensation
claim or personal injury lawsuit is the right course of action for you.
